Birdseed isn't very good for rabbits.
Timothy hay, fresh leafy greens, and small amounts of fruit as an occasional treat.

@DearAmbellina2113 my research said otherwise ...
"Wild rabbits will eat bird seed that falls on the ground. They like the bird seed and it’s okay for them to eat. it’s not a normal food for their diet but it won’t hurt them. Some home owners leave out extra bird seed for wild rabbits in the winter time. Certain seeds in wild bird seeds, like sunflowers, are fattening. So eating these seeds is healthy for wild rabbits in when it’s cold outside. Extra fat keeps them warm and helps them survive the cold."
The seed mix includes sunflower seeds and corn which are fine.

@zork0000 perhaps it is different for wild rabbits. 🤔

@DearAmbellina2113 I guess so. They are used to eating grass seed and other grains I'm thinking.
